Our 43 foot coach had difficulty leveling on the steep rock/dirt site they gave us and when we were ready to leave, the staff would not let us choose a path out that would keep the coach out of the trees. Instead they routed us around the edge of the property through treed canopies that our 13'4 clearance could not get through and caused a series of scratches down the top of the front cap and sides of the coach. The park was super tight for larger rigs. We would not recommend putting a larger bus on this campground.

August 19, 2026 - Durango, CO…read more We enjoyed our stay at Durango Ranch RV Resort. The sites are gravel and very level, with plenty of room, a nice patch of grass, and a picnic table. This small RV park is exceptionally clean and well maintained, and there are so many thoughtful little touches that you can tell this place is truly a labor of love. There's a covered gathering area with a gas barbecue and plenty of comfortable seating, a hot tub with its own seating area, and another cozy seating area nearby. There are lots of spots around the park where you can simply sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. The bathroom and shower were spotless and beautifully decorated. The shower stall is generously sized and even has a shower chair for anyone who needs one. Such a thoughtful touch. Our pup also loved the dog parks. And I mean parks--there are actually two: Big Paws Dog Park and Small Paws Dog Park. They even provide balls and a frisbee for guests to use. The resort is about 7 miles outside Durango, which we really liked because you're away from the hustle and bustle of town. Highway 550 runs right alongside the park, so if you're sensitive to road noise, I'd recommend requesting a site toward the back, as far from the highway as possible. That said, traffic was very light at night, so it wasn't an issue for us. It was unusually warm during our stay, and we did wish there were large shade trees around the sites. But the weather was unseasonably hot, so I suspect that's not usually much of an issue. Overall, this is a lovely, well-cared-for RV resort with lots of thoughtful touches. We'd definitely stay here again!

Close enough to town and Durango Silverton train. Which passes by the campground. The parts that we did not like was the hook up locations. It seems like they have been done by someone who never had a RV or Travel Trailer. Laundry was listed under inclusions, but it is not included and is 7$ per load which is pricy. Also when booking instead of just a nightly fee they do nightly fee + per person fee for over 2 people, plus if you have 50a , basically pay attention to the fees. ( first time I ever camped at a campground where they did it this way)

With all the years that I have been enjoying the outdoors, I have come to the realization that…read morethere are essentially two types of camping - staying in a place of natural beauty unto itself, to enjoy the location where you set up your tent or parked your trailer - staying in a location that is a place to set up your tent or park your trailer, as a base of operations from which to travel to nearby natural beauty or wonder. Ancient Cedars RV park probably falls into the second category, although it offers amenities and features that are superior to lots of other RV parks, KOAs, and the like. For one thing, just about every site has a beautiful view of Mesa Verde National Park's celebrated geography... as a matter of fact, you really can't get much closer to the park without camping inside of it. One minute drive from Ancient Cedars and you're in the park! Despite being pretty close to our neighbors, our site had full hook ups, shade from a well-placed tree, a picnic table, and enough room to set up our trailer and park our truck. Easy pull through sites for all sized trailers and campers. Larger sites for humongous rolling houses and such did not have trees, but those would just get in your way, right? The front desk staff was extremely kind and friendly, the price was not astronomical, and we were not packed in like sardines, as we have been at a few other private RV park locations. The swimming pool, hot tub, and 18 hole miniature golf course were all enjoyed by the kids, as well as the game room with foosball, a billiards table, and a few other things. The front office area has a small mini mart for those essentials you forgot, and code entry restrooms and showers. The park is next to a horse property, and at night, the friendly horses come over to the fence to the delight of kids and grown ups alike. I also thought it was thoughtful that one of the rules is all external lights on campers need to be turned off at night, so visitors can enjoy the dark sky and view of the stars. At least, when the monsoon clouds aren't blocking the view. Overall, this was a great last stop on our month-long cross country road trip. Worth checking out, and hope to visit again.

We struggled to breathe a lot but found the inclines and the hikes to be pretty easy. The entire hike had always rewarded us with amazing views, and we got two lakes for the price of one. It took us only 20 minutes to island lake from ice lake (go right and cross a stream). There was a constant threat of storms, but we weren't turning around. There were campers at ice lake and island lake. I'm afraid of heights, and I was scared once on the ice lake trail and twice on the island lake trail...nothing too bad though. We saw many wildflowers going to ice lake and many marmots going to island lake. There were places to use the bathroom along the trail, at ice lake (behind boulders), and island lake (boulders). The park and trails are well maintained. Trekking poles were helpful. Finding the trail head from the parking lot was easy. There was plenty of parking at 9:30 am. People parked around the perimeter of the parking lot and the side of the road. There was a restroom in the parking lot. The trail is obvious, although not always marked. There are tons of people that hike it at all hours. Side trails are 2 ft wide. The main trail is 4 ft wide. Tips: bring water, snacks, rain gear, trekking poles, a light. Also, travel light. In conclusion, we handled ice lakes well probably due to having adjusted to the altitude, using oxygen canisters, inhalers, and traveling with light day packs. We weren't that sore afterward either. We were just tired. Also, There are no pages in the trail register. We saw people hiking even around dark though. We are from Texas and we're hot the entire time. The creek crossings weren't bad enough to need water shoes unless it's raining. The water is ice cold. You must do island lake. If you can't camp at South Mineral then stay in Silverton.
